Well, my now dear readers, you know how much I like to do a yearly reflection. This year will be no different, especially since we are ushering in the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
A friend told me he could never write what I write. I guess he considers me too personal, too open. Or maybe I lack the kind of shame that good people possess. I’ve had other people tell me that I’m honest, direct and funny.
I kind of see myself as SPAM. I come in many exciting flavors and either you like me or you don’t. Hello SPAM eaters…
2012 or 2555 was a year of Big Mac changes that came in bite size pieces. I moved back into town. I cut my hair, after 6 years of long hair, to short. I finally got that women’s writers group started, with a lot of help. So much help in fact, that folks don’t know I was the one who put the advert out. I got my own domain name! I started podcasting. I signed another year working at lovely language school. And I also learned a great deal about myself through a personal relationship.
I took a post from every month, my favorites, for you to enjoy. Of course, by you I mean me. I write for me first and maybe that is why people like what I write. I have no shame…xxoo, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Life, the Universe, and Lani 
Oh, and a woefully belated but very Merry Christmas to you, too!
We look forward to every delicious post [shamelessly vicarious readers that we are, ha!]. Curious, I found that we do have some turkey Spam in the cupboard, which should be fine until the next Mayan Apocalypse. But, I don’t know that Spam marks the really good writers out there.
Recently discovered your podcasts, so we’re getting behind the power curve. Hope that 2013 is a great year for your continuing teaching adventures.

Thanks Ken! You are too sweet. You must balance out your sweetness by eating sour things. This is what I do, so this is why I can recommend these things, you see.
Mayan Apocalypse…excellent name for a music band, I think you have stumbled upon something truly great. Turkey Spam is not too shabby either.
